Rows Of Appeals From The Government Regarding Office Activities In The New Normal Period

JAKARTA - Government spokesman for the handling of COVID-19, Achmad Yurianto, said that office activities in the new normal have the potential for transmission or spread of the virus. So, the public is obliged to apply the health protocol every time they move at the office.

The first appeal is about setting the schedule for work work which is divided into two waves. The division aims to keep prioritizing physical distancing when using public transportation.

"The first wave is held in the morning at 7.30 WIB and the second wave at 10:30 WIB, is intended to ensure that the availability of mass transportation facilities can provide space for later physical distancing," said Yuri at Graha BNPB, Jakarta, Sunday, 19 July.

In addition, in using public transportation, people are advised not to remove masks and talk to anyone. In fact, not allowed to bury and drink during the trip. The goal is to avoid transmission through micro droplates or smaller droplets or sneezing.

Then, for people whose body conditions are not completely healthy, continued Yuri, it is advisable not to go to the office or work from home. Thus, the potential for infection or transmission will be even lower. No less important, people who work from the office should pay more attention to the cleanliness of public facilities.

"While in the office, pay close attention to public facilities that are shared, such as elevators or stairs or other places," said Yuri.

Furthermore, related to work meetings, it is highly recommended to do it in a room that has good air ventilation. In addition, it is not allowed to provide food and drinks that provide an opportunity to remove masks.

"Efforts are made to not eat and drink anything during the meeting so that everyone can still use a mask without having the opportunity to remove the mask," said Yuri.

Finally, the matter of limiting the duration or time of the meeting. It is recommended, when holding a meeting for a maximum of 30 minutes. However, if the discussion of the meeting is very important, it is better to do it by dividing the waves of the meeting.

"We strive for no more than half an hour. This becomes a better thing when there are enough topics, so the part can become a number of activities," Yuri concluded.
